Of course, Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao didn’t know what Wen Qinyao said, nor what was going on in the live broadcast room and on the hot search.
Together with Lin Fei and Ji Leyu, they were waiting for the afternoon recording.
The director and the host discussed it for a long time. They eventually decided to record it first before talking to Wen Qinyao and Wu Fei after the recording. If they were willing to cooperate, they would issue a formal apology to eliminate the audience’s anger. If they were unwilling to cooperate then the program could only prepare for the worst.
The two people walked into the yard together. The director went behind the machine while the host looked at the people in front of him with a smile. “You are all here.”
“Yes,” Tang Jiale said positively.
“Okay, everyone should’ve seen the task card. This afternoon is our parent-child battle time. In this link, parents and children need to cooperate with each other and strive to get first place. The ranking in each round will determine the ingredients for everyone’s dinner tonight. Parents and children, please do your best!”
“Okay.” The children replied loudly.
“Then shall we see what the first parent-child battle game is?”
The host took a card from the staff, opened it and read: Three-legged race.
“Parents need to tie their legs with their child’s legs and run forward together. If you reach the finish line, get the red ball in the basin and return to the starting point, then it is your victory.”
“This game is played twice,” the host said with a smile. “It is because some families here have more than one child. For the sake of fairness, only one child needs to be selected for each game. Families with two children can let their children participate in the game one after another.”
Then the host started to distribute strips of cloth for each group.
Lin Luoqing looked at Lin Fei and Ji Leyu and asked them, “Which one of you wants to play first?”
Lin Fei turned to look at Ji Leyu and Ji Leyu pointed to Lin Fei.
Lin Luoqing laughed. “Then play rock paper scissors.”
Ji Leyu clenched his small fist. “Rock paper scissors.”
Then he lost to Lin Fei.
Ji Leyu, “……”
The barrage laughed.
[Your brother will always be your brother!]
[Yuyu isn’t convinced. Yuyu is obviously so strong. How can he still lose?]
[In particular, Fei Fei was indifferent and unmoved when he won. I’m laughing to death.]
Lin Fei won, so Lin Luoqing pulled him over. He had Lin Fei stand between himself and Ji Yuxiao. Then he started to tie their legs together with the strips of cloth.
Lin Fei hadn’t played this game before. It was a bit novel. Ji Leyu also looked at it curiously.
Ji Leyu asked, “Do you have to go together like this?”
“Yes.” Lin Luoqing nodded.
“It isn’t easy to walk.” Ji Leyu expressed his opinion.
“That is why we need to cooperate with each other,” Lin Luoqing said with a smile.
He looked at Lin Fei and told him, “In a moment, Fei Fei will first move the leg that is tied to me and then your father’s leg. I will count one, two, one. You listen to my command and move forward.”
“Yes,” Lin Fei responded.
Lin Luoqing looked up at Ji Yuxiao. “You remember to cooperate with Fei Fei.”
“Don’t worry.” Ji Yuxiao looked confident. “The three of us will definitely be able to cooperate well in this type of childish game.”
“Really?” Lin Luoqing was very doubtful.
“You have to trust your husband,” Ji Yuxiao said confidently.
Lin Luoqing nodded. “Okay.’
As he spoke, he put his arm around Lin Fei’s left shoulder. Ji Yuxiao immediately put his arm around Lin Fei’s right shoulder.
Lin Fei, “……”
Lin Fei moved his shoulders slightly uncomfortably. He felt that his shoulders were a bit heavy.
“It is about to start,” Lin Luoqing reminded him.
Lin Fei nodded and focused his attention.
“One,” Lin Luoqing said and stretched out his left leg. Lin Fei also stretched out his right leg that was tied to it. However, Ji Yuxiao also didn’t hesitate to stretch out his right leg. Lin Fei’s left leg was tied to it and he was dragged out forcefully. He almost staggered.
Lin Luoqing, “???”
Lin Fei, “???”
Lin Luoqing and Lin Fei looked at Ji Yuxiao together.
Ji Yuxiao thought, ‘…Ah, isn’t this embarrassing?’
Netizens laughed mercilessly.
[Hey, who was talking about a childish game just now? Is it you, Chairman Ji? I’m not mistaken, right? [amused]]
[Hahaha, you still have to believe in your husband. Chairman Ji, are you going to make Qing Qing believe in you like this?]
[Chairman Ji, you can’t do it. You made a mistake in the very first step.]
[Wuhu, Fei Fei almost took off on the spot~]
[I’m laughing crazily. Who made you look down on children’s games? You ended up making a mistake.]
Ji Yuxiao, “……”
Ji Yuxiao looked at his wife and child, who were looking at him with a smile. He blinked and begged for mercy. “Can I have another chance?”
Lin Luoqing smiled. “Okay, I will give you another chance.”
Ji Yuxiao quickly seized this opportunity and performed well.
The host gave everyone a total of five minutes to practice. Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao put their arms around Lin Fei and slowly became more skilled. They developed a tacit understanding as they walked.
“Let’s try to speed up and go faster,” Lin Luoqing suggested.
Lin Fei nodded. “Okay”
Ji Yuxiao naturally had no objection.
Lin Luoqing shouted the slogan faster than before. Lin Fei followed his rhythm and kept walking forward, actually smiling as he walked.
He remembered that he used to play this type of little game during parent-child activities at school.
It was just that Lin Luoxi was no longer there at the time. Lin Luoqing, his real uncle, didn’t come. He couldn’t participate and could only sit on the side to read a book.
At that time, Lin Fei didn’t think there was anything to this, just like he couldn’t understand what was fun about this game of tying their legs together.
He felt it was childish and didn’t yearn for it or grieve for his situation.
But now he thought it was a bit fun.
It wasn’t fun to tie the legs together, but it was fun to tie them together with Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao.
Lin Luoqing stopped the slogan. He turned his head and saw a faint smile on Lin Fei’s face.
“Is it fun?” He asked.
Lin Fei didn’t speak. He seemed a bit embarrassed to admit it.
Lin Luoqing didn’t need him to speak. Lin Luoqing just pinched his face and walked back with him with a smile.
The host blew the whistle to indicate that practice time was over. The parents and child of each group walked to the corresponding starting line, ready to start the competition.
There was a beep and the game officially started.
Lin Luoqing shouted the slogan and walked forward with Lin Fei and Ji Yuxiao.
Ji Leyu stood outside the field and cheered for them loudly. “Come on, Dad, Come on, Brother. Come on, Father!”
Seeing this, Wu Menglei also shouted immediately.
Tang Jiale heard this and turned to look at his mother. “No one is cheering for us. If only I had a younger brother.”
As he spoke, he lost his concentration and his steps became chaotic.
Tang Jiale’s father didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You still want someone to cheer for you based on your performance? You had better walk properly.”
Tang Jiale quickly focused and walked forward while listening to the slogan.
Lin Luoqing’s slogan became faster. Lin Fei and Ji Yuxiao also cooperated with him and walked faster and faster.
Ji Leyu was pleasantly surprised. “You’re almost there. Dad, come on. A bit faster!”
Lin Luoqing sped up the pace slightly. Soon, he reached the finish line, got the little red ball in the basin and walked back.
Ji Leyu happily waited for their return at the starting line.
The moment Lin Luoqing crossed the line, he couldn’t help clapping. “Awesome! We are first!”
He turned to look at the host and asked, “Village chief uncle, are we first?”
“Yes.” The village chief smiled. “You did a very good job as the atmosphere group.”
Ji Leyu didn’t quite understand. “What is the atmosphere group?”
“It is the people who shout cheers to inspire others.”
Ji Leyu understood and turned to look at Lin Fei. “Brother, you also have to be in the atmosphere group.”
Lin Fei, “……”
Lin Luoqing laughed. “Aren’t you embarrassing your brother?”
Ji Yuxiao also laughed. “Forget it. It is better for you to be the atmosphere group.”
Ji Leyu thought about it. His brother was indeed not such a person.
He laughed proudly and patted Lin Fei on the shoulder. “Brother, I didn’t expect that you could actually lose to me. Haha, it’s okay. I won’t laugh at you.”
Lin Fei, “……”
Lin Fei reached out and pinched Ji Leyu’s face.
Lin Fei and Ji Yuxiao tried their best to suppress their laughter. They didn’t dare to laugh in front of Lin Fei.
Netizens instantly laughed.
[Hahaha, yes. Our Xiao Yu finally won once!]
[Come on, hard-working king. If you have the ability, continue to work hard!]
[Help. I can’t imagine Fei Fei standing outside the field, jumping around and shouting cheers [covers face].]
[Hahahaha, Xiao Yu, you still have the nerve to say you won’t laugh at your brother. You are clearly already laughing at him!]
[Finally, our Xiao Yu won once. What’s wrong with laughing? [dog head].]
[Fei Fei: I can’t fight, I can’t fight. This is my brother, not someone else.]
[So Fei Fei, do you really not want to work hard? You are the hard-working king!]
[Come here, pass it on. The hard-working king has given up. He will never work hard again!]
[The elementary school students are ecstatic!!!]
Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao suppressed their laughter for a while before finally untying the rope tied to Lin Fei’s leg.
Lin Fei was released but he was quite unhappy that Ji Leyu dared to laugh at him. He thought so and couldn’t help pinching Ji Leyu’s face.
Ji Leyu didn’t avoid him at all and comforted him thoughtfully, “It’s okay, Brother. I know that you are unhappy about losing. Just lose more often in the future.”
Lin Fei, “!!!”
Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao started to suppress their laughter again.
Lin Fei turned to look at Lin Luoqing. Lin Luoqing immediately adjusted his expression at the speed of light. His face was gentle. “What’s wrong, Fei Fei?”
Lin Fei thought, ‘…You were obviously laughing at me just now.’
“I can also be the atmosphere group,” Lin Fei said forcefully.
Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…Ah, there are some things where you don’t have to force yourself so much.’
It doesn’t matter if he lost once in a while!
“It’s fine if you don’t join the atmosphere group,” Lin Luoqing coaxed him.
Lin Fei looked at Ji Leyu, who looked innocent. Ji Leyu winked at him in a very pure manner.
Ji Yuxiao didn’t think it was a big deal to watch the excitement and immediately supported him. “I believe in Fei Fei. Our Fei Fei is so good. He can definitely do well even as the atmosphere group.”
Lin Luoqing, “???”
Lin Luoqing glanced at him and thought, ‘Out of the father and son, one dares to speak and the other dares to support him. Don’t you have any idea what your son is like?’
The atmosphere group?
Had he seen an iceberg act as the atmosphere group?
The iceberg would explode!
The barrage also started cheering.
[That’s right. Come on, Fei Fei. I’m optimistic about you!]
[That’s right, Fei Fei. Charge! Once the time comes, Thomas will spin 360 degrees and roll your brother to death!]
[You can also sing and dance to ensure that you are more artistic than your brother.]
[Oh my god, you really dare to think about it. It would be good if Fei Fei could shout, ‘Come on.’]
[I even thought that Fei Fei would just shout, ‘Come on’. [covers face]]
[Hahaha, it is very likely!]
Lin Luoqing saw that Lin Fei’s mind had been decided and he could only helplessly agree. “Okay. Then come on.”
“Come on, come on.” Ji Leyu looked at Lin Fei. “Brother, you have to cheer for me~”
Lin Fei thought, ‘…Hah.’
Lin Luoqing bent down and used the strip of cloth to tie his and Ji Leyu’s legs together. He asked Ji Yuxiao to tie the other piece of cloth. Then the two of them took Ji Leyu to practice according to the pace they had just practiced with Lin Fei.
Ji Leyu had seen how they walked. He was very smart and quickly mastered the skill. He even actively asked to speed up.
“Awesome,” Lin Luoqing praised him.
Ji Leyu shook his head proudly, feeling that he would definitely take first place again this time.
He was just thinking this when he heard Wu Han crying not far away.
Lin Luoqing turned around and saw Wen Qinyao with a distressed and helpless expression.
“Okay, okay,” she comforted Wu Han in a good voice. “Don’t cry. You can play this round.”
Then Wen Qinyao turned to look at Wu Menglei, who was standing on the side. She said softly, “Leilei, can you give in to your brother first? Mom will play with you when we go back, okay?”
Wu Menglei nodded obediently. “Okay.”
“So good,” Wen Qinyao praised her.
Netizens in the live broadcast room immediately started @program group again.
[Let this family leave. My eyes can’t bear this type of grievance!]
[Ahhhhh, why do you want to let me see a naughty child win and succeed every time? What did I do wrong?!]
[Crying is king. As long as he cries, anything can be achieved.]
[@Program group, come out quickly and don’t pretend to be dead. Have you figured out how to deal with it?]
The director, “……”
The director had a big headache.
After five minutes of free practice, a new round of competition started again.
Lin Luoqing turned to look at Lin Fei, very curious about what his atmosphere group would do.
He said gently, “If you don’t want to shout, you don’t necessarily have to shout.”
“It’s okay,” Lin Fei said. Wasn’t it just shouting cheers?
He could also do it!
“Beep—” The game officially started.
Lin Luoqing shouted the slogan and walked forward with Ji Leyu and Ji Yuxiao.
As he was walking, he heard Lin Fei’s childish voice. “Come on! Come on! Come on Dad!”
He actually shouted. Lin Luoqing couldn’t help laughing and led Ji Leyu to quicken his pace.
Seeing that they were about to reach the finish line, Lin Fei continued to cheer for them. “Come on, come on, ‘fighting’!”
Netizens instantly laughed.
[Hey, Fei Fei is good. He can also speak English.]
[Hahahaha, I announce that Fei Fei has won. He is bilingual!]
[That’s right. Fei Fei can already say ‘fighting’ in English. Awesome, baby!]
[Understood. Let our children practice English!]
[I suddenly remembered that my son’s English winter vacation homework hasn’t been written yet.]
[My daughter hasn’t memorized her English vocabulary yet.]
[Here it comes. The hard-working king has started the new round of working hard!]
[Pass it on, the hard-working king didn’t give up and worked hard again!]
[Three minutes have passed. The hard-working king has returned!]
[Warmly celebrate our hard-working king’s ascension again. Let’s scatter flowers~]
[Hahahahahahah Fei Fei, your character of the hard-working king isn’t broken!]

wow, that spoiled brat. i feel bad for the older sister, always has to make way for her spoiled brother.
You know what’s worse? They’re twins. The sister is being treated as if she’s a few years older.
Clearly a toxic patriarchal family that glorifies and spoils boys but not girls. Worse because the mother is indulging this despite practically being used as a maid by her useless husband herself. This is the type of family that would baby their son, neglect their daughter and would treat their daughter-in-law as servants.
